  well, you just make your form in HTML like this:
  

  
  

  Code:

  <form action="email.php" method="post">
  Your name: <input type="text" name="name" size="40"><br>
  Your email address: <input type=text name="email" size=40><br>
  Your feedback:
  <textarea name="feedback" rows="5" cols="30">
  </textarea>
  <br>
  <input type="submit" value="Send feedback">
  </form>
  </body>
  </html>

  
  

  
  and email.php is like this:
  

  
  

  Code:

  <?
    $to = "[email protected]";
    $subject = "Hello!";
    $message = "Name: ".$name."\nEmail: ".$email."\nComments: \n".$feedback."\n";
    $from = "[email protected]";
  

  
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $from);
  ?>

  
  

  
  (notice that the variables used in PHP are the names you gave the inputs in the HTML
  

  
  hope that helps
  

  
  (*edited cos i accidentially deleted the <form> tag...whoops!)

  well the variables used in the script below can just be echoed to the browser like this:
  

  
  echo "Name: ".$name."\nEmail: ".$email."\nComments: \n".$feedback."\n";
